The Day After

Ginny shifted uncomfortably in her hospital bed. She was not a girl used to confinement. In fact, she hated it!

Madame Pomfrey had insisted that she should stay in the wing at least till midday. It was currently 11:30am.

Watching the clock tick unbearably slow was as interesting as watching paint dry.

She groaned and turned over, glaring at the nurse's office. After realizing that just giving the glass office 'the evils' wasn't going to help get her out of there any quicker, she found her mind flitting back to yesterday. Or what she could remember of it. They came in quick short irritating flashes so that she couldn't piece together what had really happened.

She focused on one memory- her chasing Draco Malfoy around the pitch, she ran ahead of him, she won something and then…. And then what?

She shivered. She could have sworn the hospital wing had suddenly dropped 5 degrees. And then what?

She pondered this question for many minutes. The only answer she could think of was the coldness that she could remember feeling.

Her mind drifted off again. She could still see herself sitting on the broom, drawing and generally being happy about something.

"OH SHIT!"

"Miss Weasley! Do you quite mind!" Madame Pomfrey shrieked, hurrying out of the office at the sudden outburst.

"I'm sorry, Madame Pomfrey, but I really need to go now!" she hurriedly explained, tugging on her trainers as quick as possible, not bothering to tie the laces.

"You will be doing no such thing!" came the swift reply.

"Please Madame Pomfrey. It's really important that I go and talk to Professor McGonagall. I was supposed to talk to her yesterday at 6 in the evening but I couldn't 'cuz I was here. Please! I need to go! And you said I could go at noon!" she said, glancing at the clock. It struck the first chime of the twelve waiting.

"Fine." She relented. "But any problems, come straight back. Got it?"

"Yes."

"Good. Go on."

Ginny smiled atherandwalked quickly towards the door.

"Miss Weasley! Do your laces up! I don't want you straight back in here!"

Ginny sighed and loosely tied the strings before disappearing out of the Mediwitch's sight.

As she ran through the corridors, she received some strange looks from the students milling around, but she had to get to Professor McGonagall's office.

She rounded the corner into the Transfiguration and bumped straight into someone.

"Ginny?"

She looked up.

"Jenna!" she embraced her friend in a tight hug.

"Hey." Jenna returned the hug. "How are you? I was about to come and see you. I would have come earlier but Madame Pomfrey wouldn't let me. Stupid bat, in my opinion"

Ginny smiled. Jenna was just what she needed for a 'pick-me-up'.

At 5" 8, Jenna was by far the tallest girl in the year although she was rivalled by some of the Slytherin girls. They made quite a pair walking down the corridors as Ginny only stood at 5"5 (A/N-my height!)

"I need to talk to McGonagall about the ECP (Extra Cirricular Program)thingy. How'd that go by the way?"

"Pretty boring actually. Nothing but a lecture on how we must keep our grades up, we are a first and how it's such a HUGE privilege to be offered to do something like this etc etc. The usual shit."

Ginny laughed but stopped immediately stopped when she heard a sharp cough.

"Well, Miss Goterry, if that's how you see it, it's rather easy to remove you from the program."

Jenna turned a bright red at Professor's McGonagall's words.

"I thought as much. Come on, Miss Weasley, I need to talk to you."

"I'll see you later." Ginny whispered and followed Professor McGonagall into the empty Transfiguration classroom.

"First off, Miss Weasley, it is a privilege to be on this as I'm sure Miss Goterry informed you." Her nostrils flared slightly when she said this.

"I'll hand out extra information in the morning of tomorrow. This will include a re-schedule and when your sessions with your mentor are."

Ginny nodded.

"Also, how are you feeling?"

"Well, I'm alive, so I guess that's a good thing."

"I see. Anyway, Professor Dumbledore wants to see you this evening at 6 o'clock precisely."

Ginny nodded again in acknowledgement. Professor McGonagallgot up to leave.

"Wait, what's the password?" she asked before she forgot.

"Sherbet Lemons."

Both of them smiled. Always a sweet.

When Ginny sank into her chair at the back of the Charms room next to Jenna, she was incredibly relieved.

In the two lessons before she had managed to somehow completely screw up a simple Sleeping Potion and in Care for Magical Creatures, accidentally set free an army of Nufflers. Jenna, of course, found it immensely hilarious.

"You alright?" Jenna asked, leaning over to whisper in her ear.

"I'm fine. Just bummed out."

Jenna nodded and brought out a bar of Honeydukes Finest Chocolate. Ginny's face lit up immediately.

"I thought you'd do that." Jenna smirked.

And so Ginny and Jenna (A/N- Boy, that's a mouthful) only paid a small portion of attention to what Professor Flitwick was really say. Instead they opted for the 'secretly-eating-sweets-in-the-back-of -the-class-and-playing-lil-games' idea.

That was until they got caught and earned themselves a nights detention.

"Detention! ALREADY!" Ron roared when he stomped up to her at the dinner table.

Ginny rolled her eyes, almost on instinct now.

"Yes, already!"

"And why didn't you tell me that you are in the ECP!"

"Because I was conked out in the Hospital Wing, remember!" she shouted.

"Oh yeah."

"Yes! So maybe you should think before you open that big trap of yours!"

Ron sat down defeated.

"Hang on! How come Hermione didn't get bumped up this year!" Ron asked.

"How am I su-"

"Actually Ron, I was offered to be moved…" Hermione turned slightly pink and Ron's mouth dropped open. "But I decided to stay behind so I could stay with you guys." She finished, swinging her arm round Ron's neck and Harry's as he came up. "Professor McGonagall said she wasn't surprised. She said my actions were very loyal"

Hermione grinned and sat down in between the partly shocked boys. Ginny giggled and returned to eating her Shepard's Pie.

A chill crept up on Ginny's neck and she froze, her spoon half way between her mouth and plate.

"Ginny, are you O.K.?"

The chill disappeared and she reassured Hermione she was fine. But she still felt uneasy. Watched.

Turning around, she searched the tables for a pair of eyes that were locked onto her. The eyes that she locked with shocked her. A deep icy blue-grey. Looking up, it was none other than Draco Malfoy.

She shivered and began to turn, but find it uncontrollably hard to turn herself away from his eyes.

"Ginny, don't you need to go at 6?"

Ginny snapped out of it and looked up at the clock. It was 6 at the moment.

"CRAP! I need to go! Hermione, wanna come with?"

"Sure."

Ginny grabbed Hermione's wrist and literally dragged her out of the hall.

"Sherbet Lemons!" Ginny announced to the gargoyle perched by the entrance to Dumbledore's office.

It sprung into life and the two girls hopped onto the revolving stairs.

"Good evening Miss Weasley. I see we are joined by Miss Granger." She heard him say as she stepped in. He was up by one of the top bookcases.

"Evening. Sorry I'm late, by the way."

"No, no. It's quite alright. I wasn't really doing much else" he said. "Please, take a seat."

Ginny and Hermione seated themselves in two plush chairs to the right of his desk. He sat down in front of them.

"Now, Miss Weasley, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine."

"No side effects? Depressing feeling?"

"No. I feel fine."

Dumbledore nodded and clasped his hands together.

"I see. However, the disturbing factor,I'm told,is that you mumbled the word 'Tom' quite a lot when you were in the Hospital Wing."

Dumbledore looked straight at her and she felt the colour drain out of her. "Would you confirm that, Miss Granger?"

Ginny turned to see Hermione nodding her head quickly.

"I did?" Ginny murmured. "Well, I don't remember. Can I go now?" she said and stood up swiftly.

"Yes, you may. But, nevertheless, the new Minister of Magic has been informed and they assured me that strict discipline will take place."

"By any chance, do you know who the new Minister is?" Hermione asked, way too casually.

"I'm afraid, Miss Granger, that you will have to wait until the press release of that information just like everyone else."

He winked at her and she snorted, obviously unsatisfied with his answer and joined Ginny by the door.

"I can't believe he would tell me. Press release, my arse! I bet he even knows who it is!" Hermione ranted while Ginny was mentally willing her to shut her mouth as a thumping headache had developed.

She rounded the corner quickly, wanting to escape Hermione as quick as possible. Instead, she fell flat on her back as she hurtled into some one. After hearing another thud, she could tell that the other person had fallen too.

"Watch the fuck where you're going!" the person shouted as they stood up. It was Malfoy. She rolled her eyes and stood up. His expression changed immediately when he saw it was her.

"Hey, how are you?" he asked, his voice suddenly soft and he rested a hand on her arm.

"Don't fucking touch me, you perv."

He looked shocked and moved away.

"Fuck off Malfoy! I really cannot be arsed with you right now!" she screamed.

His face hardened and he walked away with a swish of his robes.

"Ginny!" Hermione said in a shocked tone. "Don't be such a bitch!"

"Huh? Since when were you and Malfoy best friends!"

"Ginny! Didn't anyone tell you?"

"Tell me what?"

"What was the last thing you remembered?"

"Getting really cold and icy. I heard his voice but that was all."

"Ginny, how do you think you ended up in the hospital wing? Do you even know what happened!"

"No."

"Dementors! They attacked you. Apparently they were all swarming around you. They were about to Kiss you.!"

Ginny paled dramatically and swayed slightly on the spot. How had she got to the Hospital Wing?

"What's this got to do with Malfoy though!"

"He was the one that saved from death. Draco Malfoy saved you life!"

A/N: Heh heh heh heh heh….. slight cliffie. What will Ginny do now that she knows the truth? Hhhmmmm…?

I won't update until I get at least 5 reviews so get reviewing!
